THIS n THAT

   I've been busy with this little thing called a wedding the past few weeks and unable to post any sports related blogs so I will just mention a few odds and ends here.

• Braves had the worst ending ever in my 45 years of following them.  Their needs to be genuinely competitive next season  is a short list and I fully expect Frank Wren to make that happen.
• Falcons are off to a shaky start due primarily to abandoned their "bread &butter" and that's the run it down their throat style of offense.  They must return to that with an occasional vertical play downfield to  JJ.
• GT is way ahead where anyone thought they would be at this time and yet look to be just on the edge of a disastrous season unless they stop the "arm tackling" and improve their coverage on defense.  As  for    UGA.  They have won 5 in a row against the cellar teams of the SEC.    They, like Tech,  could end up with a good season or a disastrous one. yet.  They will need to stop the mistakes if they are to  have any chance.
•  NBA  -    who cares?    The   NBA lost me pretty much after the era of Magic, Bird,  MJ ended.  It just doesn't resemble basketball anymore.

Stay tuned later this week for my college FB picks and see if I can continue the unheard of  correct picking pct. of over 80% !
